We entered the bar and the barman wasn't too welcoming but once he realised that we were not the usual a****** tourists he warmed up. The guinness is spot on. We intended on have just a few drinks....err...that didn't happen Go on, give it a go, but be nice, not an a****** tourist

Stopped in for a drink since the bar is walking distance from where we are staying. It was pretty quiet, but the bar was clean and the bartender was attentive. Beer and wine only, looks like it may have been full bar at one point.

I was visiting from Texas and found the Black Pearl. Great place to watch sports. Its traditionally a Patriots NFL bar but they were not playing the Sunday I visited. I'd call it an upscale dive bar with some tasty burgers and lots of nice big screens.

Super cool place with a nice vibe but our bartender Casey made it the greatest Saturday afternoon you could ever imagine! She was entertaining, very accommodating, and had no problems juggling a large crowd and keeping everybody happy with their drink of choice! Will absolutely be back very soon! Was looking for a new bar for Saturday afternoon and this will be it!

This place is the most unwelcoming place to watch a college football game. If you’re an Alabama fan, stay away from here. We arrived 45 minutes before they opened, because they can’t be bothered to update their hours of operation online. The owner allowed us to grab a seat and turned the screen tv on our channel, but never turned on the sound to our pre-game. It made sense when an Arkansas fan who must be a regular at the place walks in right at 12:00, 45 minutes after us, and sits at the bar and the owner turns the sound onto the Arkansas/South Carolina game and when we kindly asked if there was any way that the sound could be turned on for the Alabama/Texas game, the owner laughed and said that the Arkansas fan arrived before us and would not be turning on the sound for our game. We immediately left because who wants to patronize a place that blatantly lies and treats customers like that?

This is a business that the owner thinks he knows everything but he can't seem to notice that he doesn't have any business. The place looks unkept especially outside with trash etc. the front door glass has been broken for months which isn't inviting, when you're going in the bar. It sends a bad message. You should pass on this place as everyone else does!

Friendly bartender who was the owner. Massachusetts sports theme!

If you're looking for a good casual place to watch the Patriots games or the other Boston teams when they're in the playoffs, this is where to go. Those games will always be featured on the biggest screens and you'll be surrounded by like-minded fans. If you're looking for good food, this is not the place.

The bar was a very friendly place. Everyone in the bar made me fill like I was a regular. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 10.

This is an awesome place. The bartender, Brittany was by herself tonight because another staff member didn't show up. She did amazing!! The bar was fully packed and she handled it. We will definitely be coming back regularly.
One of my favorite places to enjoy myself!!!❤❤❤❤❤
